What's it going to take to beat Wisconsin

I am responding to both you and @One Man Jury here.
CONTROLLING TURNOVERS IS NOT...REPEAT NOT A GAME PLAN. NO TEAM GOES INTO A GAME SAYING I REALLY WANT TO TURNOVER THE BALL 10 TIMES TODAY.
There are techniques that are taught that limit turnovers. Our RB coach seems to have done a good job teaching those techniques as fumbles have been way down since he got here. (At least by the RB)
Yes which is what I hoped to see all year. Short controlled passing hitting players in stride.
The way to beat an aggressive defense is short pass, misdirection, perhaps even some trickery and smash mouth running all day. I hope the 'chuck and duck' passing is not visible at all in this one.
I can't remember any type of trick play in three years, I am old so it may have happened. Would love a wildcat run just once, or a flea flicker type play just to keep them guessing.

Of course nobody goes into a game saying they want to turn the ball over multiple times. But when you know a certain player is a turnover machine, you need to formulate a game plan that limits that player's exposure. If it's a running back that fumbles, you need to find a different back. If it's a WR that is a DB's tip-drill dream, get him out of there. If it's a QB that tends to throw the ball to the other team, pull him or don't have him throw very often. Or offer a max-protect blocking scheme to limit pressure. Or any number of different things that a coordinator can do.
One of the guys that Sharp and Benning have on said the exact thing a couple of weeks ago. He said he would have a package for Darlington to run wildcat. The guy was a good zone read QB back in HS. There is a reason Ohio St. wanted him. I don't think things like this even cross DL or MR mind.
Lord knows we're going deep t some point.
Always seems like it ! AMIRITE?
Ziggy runs the ball for 150 yards and no fumbles and 2 tds. We cannot afford any Tanner picks.
Ziggy for 100+ and no fumbles or picks and we win.
Maybe first play of the game?
I NEVER SUGGESTED IT (oh, sorry,) was a gameplan. But we can call smart, situational football games right?
But you did agree with someone who did. let me remind you.
This poster was responding to your OP. So he was calling less turnovers a game plan and you were agreeing.
24 points should do it....
